Chapter 6: Leave Early
Liu Ruyue received the road guide, certificate and money bag in the tray into her arms, and thanked everyone repeatedly.
Muhe Chen Shu and several people also thanked the county Cheng together, and their case was cleared early in the morning, because the bitter masters were all there, and Wang Wuzhang Xiaoliu's confession was submitted by the army, and the case was solved without Liu Ruyue going to court at all.
Everyone left the county office together.
Outside the county office, there were already their fellow villagers waiting, hugging them back to the village.
Liu Ruyue held the child and stood in the middle of the road, quite unpleasant.
I didn't find my own children, but there were a few more children.
Child, child, are you really Shi Niang's dog?
If it's really a dog baby, she has to send it to Shi Niang's mother-in-law.
If he wasn't a dog, then how anxious his family was, would the dead woman be his mother?
Liu Ruyue held the child nervously and found an inn to live in first.
Now that she has a guide and a reward from the county, she can stay in the inn.
She asked for a small pot of porridge, a plate of kimchi, a steamed bun, a boiled egg, two bowls, and sat down in the lobby, a meal that cost a total of ten copper plates.
The county government rewarded her with two taels of broken silver, one tael of silver is 1,000 copper plates, and two taels of silver can be exchanged for 2,000 copper plates.
Just now I weighed a piece of broken silver, exchanged it for 100 copper plates, spent 10 wen to eat, and lived in the next room for 10 wen yuan, and the rest of the money had to be saved.
No matter how economical you are, you have to feed your children.
The appearance of this child undoubtedly dispelled the suspicion of many people about her, otherwise the county would probably investigate her origin, and it would inevitably be found out when the time came.
The child who had appeared elsewhere a day earlier and the woman who had been bitten to death by the snake had confirmed her words, and she had been able to get the guide so quickly.
No matter what, she has to take care of this child now, and send him to Shi Niang's mother-in-law in the future, the birthmark on the back of his neck, Shi Niang's mother-in-law will definitely recognize him and take good care of him.
She can be reborn, perhaps, in this world, there is such a coincidence.
Liu Ruyue didn't think much about it, peeled the eggs, crushed the egg yolk in a bowl with chopsticks, and then scooped the rice soup above the porridge and a little rice grains that were not too bad, stirred with the egg yolk in the bowl, and then fed the child a small spoonful of rice.
This child is quite well-behaved, from the county office to the inn, he didn't cry all the way, perhaps, the woman who stole the child fed him medicine and didn't slow down.
Would you like to take him to see the doctor?
Thinking so, Liu Ruyue quickly finished her meal and went to the street with the child in her arms.
I found a doctor, came to the doctor, and handed the child over, "Doctor, can you help me see if the child is healthy?" ”
The bearded doctor straightened the child's face and looked at it, pinched his mouth, teased the child to stick out his tongue, and looked at the tongue coating.
Then he took out the child's wrist, pressed the pulse, and looked at Liu Ruyue with suspicion.
Liu Ruyue felt that the doctor must have found out that the child had been drugged, so she took out the certificate issued by the county and handed it to the doctor.
The above explained clearly Liu Ruyue's experience of finding the child, and how the child was found, the doctor looked at the payment date, and finally breathed a sigh of relief, and handed the certificate back to Liu Ruyue.
"Misunderstanding, misunderstanding, Shi Niang really has a heart, pity the parents of the world, Shi Niang is alert, and if she finds that the child is abnormal, she will take him to see a doctor, this child is indeed drugged, which is a drug commonly used by traffickers who steal children, which will make the child stunned and unable to cry, so as not to arouse suspicion when the child cries endlessly."
Although this child was not born to her, as the mother of four children, Liu Ruyue also felt the same worry for him, she hoped that her child could also meet a kind person to take care of her when she was in trouble, "So, does this medicine have any bad effects on the child?" Is it easy to treat? ”
"It's easy to cure, but there's no need for treatment, or even medicine." The doctor opened the drawer under the table, took out a snuffbox made of white porcelain and green tires, lifted the lid, put it under the child's nose and shook it.
The child suddenly sneezed, looked at Shi Niang, and then looked at the bearded doctor, holding his mouth and crying, Liu Ruyue subconsciously picked up the child and gently patted his back, "Don't cry, don't cry, don't cry, don't cry, my mother is by your side." ”
The old doctor was very confident in his medicine, and closed the lid and put it away, "Okay, this kind of drug is made and configured by those traffickers, it is not difficult to understand, and it is not harmful to children, this snuff box is filled with the refreshing oil that I used mint, eucalyptus leaves, camphor branches and other herbs to refine and prepare brain-refreshing oil, which is also harmless to children, Shi Niang rest assured." ”
Liu Ruyue was close to the child, and she could also smell the pungent and cool smell of the refreshing oil, which made her feel as if her brain was stimulated by the winter ice, and she was smart, "Thank you, doctor, I don't know if you still have this refreshing oil?" Is it for sale? ”
The old doctor asked curiously, "What are you buying this thing for?" ”
Liu Ruyue remembered that in the previous life, Lu Chengze sent someone to arrest her, just to smoke her, if there is this refreshing oil at hand, she will take it out and smell it in time, and she will not faint.
Although being sober doesn't change the possibility that those people kidnapped her, what if she will encounter this kind of situation in the future?
She was alone with a baby, and who knew what accidents would happen on the way.
When he arrived in Beijing, it was not strange what means Lu Chengze would use to deal with her and the children, so as not to be blind.
Liu Siniang didn't explain too much, "I think this refreshing oil is very good, so I want to prepare a copy, and in the future, when the child grows up and dozes off, maybe he can use it." ”
"Oh, it turned out to be this plan, well, it's not that I didn't want to sell it to you before, it's just that I didn't deserve a few copies of this thing, not to mention it, ordinary people really don't use it often, but Shi Niang is also a hero in our Tong County, you had the courage to sue at the gate of the city yesterday, and rescued how many women who were abducted by the traffickers, since you want to, then I will sell it to you at a low price, 30 Wen, if I sell it to a scholar to refresh myself, I have to sell it for at least five taels of silver." In the end, the old doctor used the smallest voice to say it to Liu Ruyue.
Liu Ruyue thanked the doctor gratefully and counted 30 copper coins to him.
30 Wen, the refreshing oil that can solve the smoke and drugs is really not expensive, Liu Ruyue has never been a rich person, but in the previous life, she also worked as a slave in many Zhuangzi, restaurants, and large families, and she still has some knowledge.
If you want to take your child on the road, there are many things to prepare along the way.
Two taels of silver was not enough for her to take the child to the capital.
But Liu Ruyue also knew that she didn't dare to stay in Tongxian for a long time, if she stayed for a long time, what if someone found out, and that Yue Baihu, she could be sure that she had angered him and exposed the bad things done by his subordinates, he was afraid that he would be punished by the army, and when he eased up, he would definitely find trouble with her.
For coaxing children, Liu Ruyue is still good at it.
The child was quickly coaxed into smiling by her, and looked very well-behaved.
Liu Ruyue immediately went to Buzhuang with the child who didn't cry, and along the way, the child looked curiously at the people coming and going on the street, as if he had never seen so many people before.
She bought a new set of clothes for the child, pulled a long blue cloth belt for carrying the child, pulled the coarse cloth and bought needle and thread, and prepared to sew two new clothes for the child when she had time on the road.
